The price rises when you come to the door, and the consumers are in trouble with the "split charges."
“i later learned that deep cleaning is more expensive.” mr. Chen, who lives in the white cloud district, told the reporters. It is understood that, through the landlord's introduction, he offered to the nearby maintenance door shop the services of a clean air conditioner. “it was agreed not to exceed a hundred dollars at first, but when the master came to the door, he said that dozens of dollars of simple cleaning were unclean and recommended 168 dollars of deep cleaning services.”
According to mr. Chen, he finally chose a simple cleaning package. “the cleaning master wipes the machine's shell, washes the filter and ends, as if it's not as effective as i wash myself, and feels worthless.” journalists have been told by electric maintenance workers that the demand for air-conditioning cleaning services has gradually expanded over the past two years and have become a market, but that at present air-conditioning cleaning is less difficult to develop as a differentiated service due to the lack of regulation and uniform standards for market development, and that many vendors often draw price “snap” in order to attract customers, and that consumers may face “discretionary charges” during consumption。
In response, the guangzhou daily newspaper consulted with all media journalists on official after-sale clothes for some air conditioning brands. Of these, glac indicates that the air-conditioning cleaning services require payment from the users themselves and also provides options for both simple and deep cleaning. In addition to official after-sales channels, journalists are aware that there are many channels available to provide air-conditioning cleaning services, such as electric stores, electrical platforms, various types of life-service software, home electrical repair shops, etc。
Journalists turned on a life service software and found that hanging air conditioning cleaning ranged from $86 to $170, while in the case of care, special fees such as “door fees” were usually written, which were more difficult for consumers to detect without careful examination. On the other hand, when consulting the offline maintenance shop, the doorman said that it would take $150 to clean a hanger, and that, "we need $23,000 for one machine, all of which is cleaned through high-temperature steam disinfection, unlike the online services." the maintenance staff said。
In a search of the evaluation of air conditioning cleaning on the black cat complaints platform, journalists found that many consumers reflected problems such as “no refund” of “no refund fees” and “no refund of expired services”. In addition, journalists have been informed by industry that some undesirable traders would charge consumers additional fees for air conditioning, either under the name “snow species” or under the guise of other maintenance。
It's recommended that we find a regular vendor to clean it
With regard to the need for air conditioning cleaning, wang qing, vice-president of the chinese engineering academy and president of the chinese academy of medical sciences, has publicly stated that air conditioning is a breeding ground for many pathogens and that air conditioning should be cleaned and disinfected in homes and enterprises.

According to specialists in respiratory medicine, after a winter, air mediation in households in general accumulates dust, mites, fungus, etc., and is used without cleaning. In closed doors and windows, dirty air spreads throughout the room, leading to respiratory infections such as allergy, asthma, and allergy。
Maintenance professionals told journalists that irregular cleaning of air conditioners could affect both health and air conditioning cooling. As to the frequency of clean-up, the professional said: “the clean-up pressure on air conditioners in different environments is different to judge from different realities”
In the case of air conditioners cleaning up messes, the household electrician said to the journalist: “it is better to have an official sale from a regular manufacturer, after which the formal branding of home electricity is generally accompanied by an in-depth cleaning service, after which the person is professionally trained, the spare parts for maintenance are the original plant, with the corresponding maintenance records”. It is understood that previously, the hunan consumers ' committee issued consumption tips to alert consumers to household electricity cleaning and carefully choose to defend their rights and interests。
